The data gathered during the house-to-house assessment for the special validation of Social Pensioners are now being encoded into the system being maintained by the DSWD’s Listahanan.

Enumerators who are doing the assessment in the six provinces of Western Visayas have covered almost all the elderly in the masterlist who are to undergo special validation.

The DSWD has earlier assured that qualified beneficiaries, whose pension were stopped this year, will be paid retro-actively once the results of the Proxy Means Testing on the data gathered are out./dswd6
